Today was Lainey's first day of school at Ocean Reef Pre-Primary. They start kindergarten (affectionately known as "Kindy" here) at age 4. She will go two days a week...Tues & Fri. Not Mon & Fri like I think I previously posted somewhere. She is very excited and thinks her new teacher is "very sweet." They have a 1/2 day the first 3 weeks of school to get the kids acclimated and then they will go from 8:30 to 3:00 P.M. Today she painted with "bear claws" - "no flat hands allowed in the paint" she said. She said she listened for the "sirens" to tell her when it was time to go play outside and eat a snack. And she's right...I heard the sirens today...they definitely are not bell sounds. LOL! She really hates loud noises, so I'm glad she tolerated these sirens without throwing a fit about them.
While she and Lindsey were at school today, Harrison had a rough day. He was VERY upset that he didn't get to go to school with Lainey. I did feel sorry for him. He looked like a whipped puppy. I thought spending time with two doting ladies (Jane's friends - Bernie & Mrs. Maurene) would be alright while Jane took me along to water aerobics at the gym. I got a great work out in, but Harrison wasn't having any of it. I thought to cheer him up we would do something special (feed the ducks) before we picked up Lainey, but when we got home to get the stuff he screamed and fussed and then wet his pants. So that nixed that idea. It was a rough start for Little Man today. Things got better this afternoon when we picked up Lindsey from school and came home to swim. He loves the water and so does Lainey! We then decided to feed the ducks, which turned out to be a huge fiasco. Those ducks are CRAZY! It's not the little ones that are bad, but the big white looking geese things...with red beards, and sharp claws at the back of their webbed feet. I had to divert those big birds away from the kids and they came after me!!!! No matter how much bread I threw, they kept coming...flapping their wings. I was running and screaming for the kids to head for the playground. Mean ass birds! OMG...traumatic! Finally after turning around and flinging my arms around and kicking at them did they realize I was out of bread and leave me alone. I'm sure, no I know, that the people in the park this afternoon had a GREAT Friday chuckle, as I'm sure you are right now. Hey, that's what I'm here for! LOL! I told you that I'm sure we'd have some adventures to laugh at. Won't be feeding the ducks again...at least not when I see those big white geese things!
Lord help me!
We LOVE to swim!
Have a great weekend everyone!
Cheers,
Wendy
